In a battle between colossus killers and monster hunters, it was Sony’s Shadow of the Colossus that emerged victorious, dislodging Capcom’s Monster Hunter: World from the UK chart top spot.

All signs point to the ravishing remake being a runaway success. Sales were 73% higher than that of the PS2 original, which also took no.1 back in 2006. That impressive figure doesn’t include digital sales either. In another colossal win for Sony, it’s their 8th PS4 exclusive to take no.1.
